The caller was awful. Dumb jokes, repeating what the prize was over and over made the night drag on. Next time print out a list of the prizes, hand it out and just call the numbers.
The small bowl used to shake the tickets was pathetic and the cardboard box used for the 50/50 was even worse! Hopefully the organizers will read this and get the message.
I attended the Green Twp. PTA Tricky Tray. I felt is was well organized and the prizes were nice (and most importantly, matched the price of the tickets). Good food, too! It's nice to get a salad instead of those hot dogs that have been boiling for hours (or days!). The calling could have been a little better - the woman who started was really moving along quickly, but the men were not as quick - making more commentary and not quite as clear in their speaking (but louder). Just one question - why did we put our door prize tickets in a buckets if they weren't going to be used for the door prizes?
Yankee Tickets -Tools-Restaurant Gift Certificates - Salon Gift Certificates –Store Gift Certificates- Microwave -Hand Held Leaf Blower - Garden Fountain - Fitness Memberships - Karaoke Machine - Furniture - and so much more! Heck- we even have the sold out, impossible to find WEBKINZ! Admission is free and we have comfortable auditorium seating. Pizza, Salad and Drinks will be available for purchase…desserts and snacks are free!!! You won’t find any bent tickets being called here! Thanks for your support! Good Luck!!!
April 27th Good Shepherd Academy in Nutley Tricky Tray is SOLD OUT!!!!!
Thank you to all of the Tricky Tray.com readers who responded to our listing. We received so many ticket requests for the event from this site. Tricky Tray.com is truly a great way to get the word out to potential guests!
We are looking forward to meeting all of you on Friday, and providing you with a great evening!
See you then, and many many thanks for helping us to make this fundraiser a big success to benefit our school's children.
Great prizes!
Great caller!
Great prices!
Free snacks and water!
Very organized!
I will be back next year!
Only negative was an obnoxious group of people (box kicking girls) who screamed sooooo loud everytime someone that they new won. I love enthusiasm, but that was to much.
There were a few other tricky trays in the immediate area last night - Sandyston-Walpack, Lafayette and Stillwater. Any comments on those so if they are the same night again next year, I'll know where to go?
Everyone seemed to be a winner, some multiple. They sold pizza and salad and had free baked goods.
My friends and I had a good time,(we also all won...yeah us!!!)
I will definately go back next year.
I was in stillwater last night and it was a nice balance of prizes/prices to the number attending. Sadly, I was seated by chance near that loud group of enthusiastic people mentioned earlier. Stomping and kicking while screaming in bleacher seating is dangerous and should of been stopped. They did promptly stop someone from using an airhorn. I felt badly for the woman who made a spectacle of herself everytime she won. She would stand and face the crowd - scream (long and loud) and do almost a touchdown dance. Some laughed at her but many wondered what compelled her to act so bizarrly. while the group in the stands was loud and happy, they didn't slow down the ticket verification process.
P.S. Love that TT organizers are listening!
Also attended the Reverend Brown one...getting a bad rap on the blog...you could definitely put up with the slow calling for all of the beautiful trays. This is also one of my favorites
I am an avid Tricky Tray fan, and this was one of the best I have been to this year. The prizes were absolutely out of sight and the prices for once were so low you felt guilty winning a prize.
The folks who were in charge of the auction this year are newcomers and took a little longer to get started because they ran out of sheets, but the prizes were fantastic. I took home 10 huge baskets. They made a lot of money and could have made triple the amount. They are to be commended. They could have used a little more help, but they pulled it off just fine.
The 50/50 was $4,900. They even let kids in. Hey, I told them to put me down for next year!
That's just a different sort of animal (pun intended) than what most of you are used to.
For a more traditional sort of TT (with a fun theater twist), come to the Bergen County Players Tricky Tray on 5/31 at The Cotillion in Garfield! Tickets are still on sale. It will NOT be crowded, except with the hundreds of prizes, we will NOT call bent tickets, and the dinner will be good. Half of the time, *I* will be calling the numbers, so if I'm going to slowly, you have my express permission to come up & slap me. :) Every time I think we've got a ton of prizes, more come in. I have no idea how we're going to get them all to the place!! It's really insane... come win some & help me get rid of 'em!
If interested please call.

I'm tired of seeing 'bent' tickets that end up winning. All versions of marked tickets should be disqualified. I'd love to see the bent ticket numbers be blacklisted any any other wins disqualified from that same sheet of tickets whether bent or not. Not sure why people tolerate this cheating like they do.
Any thoughts on St. Andrews in Randolph or Sussex Tech up North or NJ Blind Citizens in Port Monmouth or Little House in South River for Central Jersey? Looking for quality prizes with ticket prices to match.

It was crowded and poorly run.
I will be going with several of my friends.. anyone else?
I have to add that I couldn't believe when glancing into the ticket bags that people were still bending tickets. People that do this are nothing but trash. We go to TT's to support the organization and to have a good time. Cheaters suck and I will make it my personal mission to point them out whenever possible!!!
First off it all started with a MAN posting a blog about a bottle of wine as a prize and it being illegle (excuse my spelling). He also had the need to name names, show pictures, ect...
If HE was truely concerned about the legal aspect of things, I think he would have just brought it to the attention of the people running it, but he choose to stay and participate in the TT, then write a blog about it.
I'm sorry but illegle or not, handling in the way that it was was an obvious attempt to trash the current MOPTA and all the volunteers at the TT.
Shame on him, and all the neg. posts, on both sides.
It was an awesome TT, even though I didnt win. Prices were good, prizes were nice, food was tastey and all the people I ran into were pleasent.
To the post above----I will definetly go again next year.
Also a BIG THANK YOU to anyone that volunteers there time for the school and our children.
Stay away from Mount Olive. Their reputation preceeds them.

So - perhaps someone should do proper investigation and quote the AMENDED laws instead of the old ones. NOWHERE in the above is listed alcohol as it is now allowed only that a disclaimer needs to be posted that the winner must be at least 21 years of age.
I hope I have done enough research for the future Tricky Trays going on out there. By the way, this law does expire on July 12, 2007 so feel free to put in a bottle of wine (with a disclaimer) at your Tricky Tray until July 12, 2007!

To the blogger that asked that TrickyTray.com investigate, I do list the info to contact NJ Gaming Commission. As far as posting legal info on the site..no way. I am not a lawyer..and do not want future legal hassles..plus though the tricky tray is much more of NJ trend..I post for all states.
To all trick tray organizers, I suggest you always contact local & state goverment for coorect rules & regulations.
Take Care All & Please Support the site!

Mr Tricky Tray
I hope this brings some closure to the subject. The BEST advice is the one you gave, call the State BEFORE your event to make sure you are following the proper rules.
Again, Sincere Thank You and Good Luck with your web site!
Here's a thought I'd appreciate your considering. Many Tricky Trays occur annually and generally around the same time of the year.
It would be great if we could access a master list (so to speak) of every Tricky Tray that was posted on this site in the last rolling twelve month period, the location of the organization and the date the event was held. That would make it much easier for us to do our research in determining if we want to attend the coming year's event. It would also be a lot easier to locate last year's attendees' reactions and comments in the closed blogs. Any chance of that happening?
PS I love your site. It's been such a great venue for letting us diehards know where we can go on any given nite to have some fun! Keep up the good work!
It was not only the first our theater ever tried, it's the first *I* ever organized, and I was happy to see so many people look like they were having a good time.
I attended the Bergen Players TT, and you did a great job. Staff were very nice; gifts were fine...if only those 3 tables would have stopped winning everything!!!! Just teasing... sometimes Lady Luck just gets a seat at your table! Congratulations to all of you. I hope everyone appreciated how much work you all put into the night. Much good luck with the company's next season!
Again, thank you, and I hope you won some stuff!
TT Organizers: Please post your TT event dates here! There were some nights in Sussex County when several TTs were going on at the same time. We like them spread out so we can attend them all!!!
Just a little note from me. I am running the Ramapough Nation Tricky Tray. We have alot of nice prizes and are very cheap with our sheet prices. Also we only allow 300 people tops so that everyone has a good chance of winning. Right now I have sold about 150 tickets and would like to sell atleast 75 more before the Tricky Tray. If you have any questions you can email me or call me. This is a really good one if you want a chance to win . We have Oakley sun glasses,Patio set, gold bag, hair stuff,scratch offs and lots more.
Thanks,
Andrea

What are the prices of your tickets? When is it?
A gold bag would be nice!!! Funny!
Y'know, I was reading back through some older posts & the freakiness of some people over not allowing bent tickets (i.e. people having fits that you don't let them cheat). In our program, I specifically put in BIG letters, highlighted - NO BENT TICKETS... and still there were tickets that were bent completely in half!! I refused to pull them, of course, but what did these people think? I'd say it & not follow through? Give me a break. If anything, when you don't listen to me & follow the rules it pisses me off & makes me LESS sorry when you don't win!
I'm contrary that way.
If you come I will buy a gold bag lol!
Ticket Prices are smalls $4.00 per sheet or 3 for $10.00 Meds sheets are $8 per sheet or 3 for 20 bucks
Large are 3 each or 5 tickets for 10 bucks and grand for the 42 Inch plasma are 5 bucks each. I am selling Val packs for 40 bucks they have all three levels . Grand and 50/50 arent included. Thing is you really have a good chance to win at mine because of no over crowding. If you are coming let me know and I will go buy a gold bag :)
Thank you,
andrea
P.S
I don't do Bent Tickets either
June 21 st @ the Double Tree in Mahwah, NJ $30.00 includes 4 course dinner and 1 sheet small tickets. I make notta on the door
You gave us the price for tickets, but what are the prizes in each level worth? And how many prizes do you have in each level?
Thanks!
about 200 small,100 Meds, and 20 or so Larges as of today. We are still getting more every day.
Thanks
